Depending on the hormone imbalance, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be classified as salt-wasting, hypertensive, virilizing, or feminizing. The most common defect is in STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE. Other defects occur in STEROID 11-BETA-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 17-ALPHA-HYDROXYLASE; or 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES). Development of male secondary SEX CHARACTERISTICS in the FEMALE. It is due to the effects of androgenic metabolites of precursors from endogenous or exogenous sources, such as ADRENAL GLANDS or therapeutic drugs. Abnormal SEXUAL DIFFERENTIATION caused by disorders of the GONADS or the ADRENAL GLANDS, such as CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA and ADRENAL CORTEX NEOPLASMS. Due to abnormal steroid biosynthesis, clinical features include VIRILISM in females; FEMINIZATION in males; or precocious sexual development in children. 255.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 255.2 contains 62 index entries View the ICD-9-CM Volume 1 255.* hierarchy Alternate Terminology Adrenogenital syndromes, virilizing or feminizing, whether acquired or associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia consequent on inborn enzyme defects in hormone synthesis Achard-Thiers syndrome Congenital adrenal hyperplasia Female adrenal pseudohermaphroditism Male: macrogenitosomia praecox sexual precocity with adrenal hyperplasia Virilization (female) (suprarenal) 255.2 Excludes adrenal hyperplasia due to excess ACTH (255.0) isosexual virilization (256.4)  Index entries containing 255.2: Achard-Thiers syndrome (adrenogenital) 255.2 Adrenocortical syndrome 255.2 Adrenogenital syndrome (acquired) (congenital) 255.2 iatrogenic, fetus or newborn 760.79 Apert-Gallais syndrome (adrenogenital) 255.2 Cooke-Apert-Gallais syndrome (adrenogenital) 255.2 Corticosexual syndrome 255.2 Defect, defective 759.9 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 255.2 11-hydroxylase 255.2 21-hydroxylase 255.2 Defeminization syndrome 255.2 Deficiency, deficient 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 255.2 11-beta-hydroxylase 255.2 17-alpha-hydroxylase 255.2 18-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 255.2 20-alpha-hydroxylase 255.2 21-hydroxylase 255.2 desmolase 255.2 hydroxylase 255.2 Disorder - see also Disease adrenogenital 255.2 corticosteroid metabolism NEC 255.2 metabolism NEC 277.9 corticosteroid 255.2 steroid 255.2 steroid metabolism NEC 255.2 Hyperadrenocorticism 255.3 congenital 255.2 Hyperfunction adrenal (cortex) 255.3 virilism 255.2 Hyperplasia, hyperplastic adrenal (capsule) (cortex) (gland) 255.8 with sexual precocity (male) 255.2 virilism, adrenal 255.2 virilization (female) 255.2 congenital 255.2 "Infant Hercules" syndrome 255.2 Macrogenitosomia (female) (male) (praecox) 255.2 Masculinization, female, with adrenal hyperplasia 255.2 Precocity, sexual (constitutional) (cryptogenic) (female) (idiopathic) (male) NEC 259.1 with adrenal hyperplasia 255.2 Pseudohermaphroditism 752.7 adrenal 255.2 female (without adrenocortical disorder) 752.7 with adrenocortical disorder 255.2 adrenal 255.2 male (without gonadal disorder) 752.7 with adrenocortical disorder 255.2 adrenal 255.2 Puberty V21.1 precocious (constitutional) (cryptogenic) (idiopathic) NEC 259.1 due to adrenal cortical hyperfunction 255.2 hyperplasia 255.2 cortical hyperfunction 255.2 premature 259.1 due to adrenal cortical hyperfunction 255.2 Sexual precocity (constitutional) (cryptogenic) (female) (idiopathic) (male) NEC 259.1 with adrenal hyperplasia 255.2 Syndrome - see also Disease Achard-Thiers (adrenogenital) 255.2 adrenogenital (acquired) (congenital) 255.2 feminizing 255.2 iatrogenic 760.79 virilism (acquired) (congenital) 255.2 Apert-Gallais (adrenogenital) 255.2 Cooke-Apert-Gallais (adrenogenital) 255.2 corticosexual 255.2 defeminization 255.2 infant Hercules 255.2 pseudohermaphroditism-virilism-hirsutism 255.2 virilizing adrenocortical hyperplasia, congenital 255.2 Virilism (adrenal) (female) NEC 255.2 with 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase defect 255.2 11-hydroxylase defect 255.2 21-hydroxylase defect 255.2 adrenal hyperplasia 255.2 insufficiency (congenital) 255.2 cortical hyperfunction 255.2 Virilization (female) (suprarenal) (see also Virilism) 255.2 isosexual 256.4
